Your child hears a story about a farm in the rain… you know they're learning that math is a tool for solving real problems.

The story begins with a phone call. Grandma needs help. Her feet hurt, and she can't gather the animals before the storm arrives.

Lina and her mom rush over. When they arrive, they see: 

The farm is open. The animals are scattered everywhere. 

And the rain is coming.

Lina doesn't calculate because she's practicing.

She calculates because otherwise the horses would be stuck in the rain. Because the goats would go hungry. 

Because Grandma needs her help.

From the 5 horses in the stable to the 8 goats and 9 piglets, every addition and subtraction becomes a small victory against time.

Beyond the educational aspect, the story encourages perseverance, calmness, and the value of working together.

Even the most difficult situations can be handled with patience and reason.

This is how children learn math best. 

Not with abstract exercises, but in a real context. 

Not as something they "have to know," but as something that helps them solve problems.

The ending of the book, where Lina realizes that "without the calculations, we never would have found all the animals," leaves young readers with a feeling of confidence and the sweet satisfaction of success.

The book shows that math isn't just exercises on a page.

It's a tool that truly helps in everyday life.
